SBS's Friday-Saturday drama `Tri" (played by Lim Jin-ah, directed by Jang Young-seok) episode 6, which aired on the 9th, depicts Ju Ki-ram (Yoon Gye-sang) and Hanyang Sports High School's rugby department doing their best ahead of the first round of the presidential term against Daesang High School. However, as Garam collapsed due to worsening symptoms of severe work history, and ex-girlfriend Bae Ji (Im Semi) learned of Garam's past and illness, a red flag was turned on for his career as a coach of the rugby department. At the same time, Izzy was also seen shaking in trauma and being eliminated from the national team selection match, causing regret.
On this day, Garam met with aerobics director Bang Heung-nam (Jeong Soon-won) at the hospital, amplifying the tension. Hanyang Sports High School's rugby department will face Daesang High School from the first round of the national high school rugby tournament under the presidential term. In particular, third graders Yoon Sung-joon (Kim Yo-han), Oh Young-kwang (Kim Yi-joon), and Seo Myung-woo (Lee Soo-chan), who are about to enter the college, are in desperate need of scouts in this game. Sung-joon expressed his sincerity toward rugby, saying, `I'll go anywhere if I can play rugby,' even though he was contemplating about going to college and the unemployment team. However, vice-principal Sung Jong-man (Kim Min-sang) sarcastically pointed out that Garam is a disgraced retired player and said that Scouts would not come, and Garam smiled wildly, saying, `You have to come see it, somehow.'
Garam is in full swing in scouts. However, the only thing that came back to Garam like this was the harsh door-to-door bashing. Lastly, Garam visited Song Hyun-jong (Kang Shin-il), the coach of Yeonhui University's rugby department and former national team player, and taught him how to be together. They love rugby as much as you do. Please look at them without prejudice"I asked earnestly, and I was impressed.
On the other hand, while Bae Ji-ji (Im Semi) was shocked by her elimination from the national team selection match, the Hanyang High School shooting team was turned upside down due to a controversy over match manipulation against Na Il-hyun (Sung Ji-young), who advanced to the final round of the national team selection match in fourth place instead of Lee Ji-ji. Na Kyu-won (Jang Hyuk-jin), Seol-hyun's father and deputy superintendent of education, pressed Lee Ji to explain properly at the association, and Lee Ji replied that it was because of her poor condition, fearing the impact of revealing the truth. Even Kim So-hyun (Cho Yeon-hee), the mother of Seo Woo-jin (Park Jeong-yeon), the captain of the shooting department, and former national shooting team member, visited and ignored Izzy, causing anger.
Meanwhile, dark clouds have also hung over the rugby department. Moon Woong (Kim Dan), a natural physical genius, found it difficult to tackle people. Garam told Woong "No wonder you're afraid. Still, if you want to continue playing rugby, you have to overcome it." At that time, the moment Woong tried to confide in something, the situation ended due to the noise of the children looking for Izzy, amplifying the curiosity.
Upon realizing that Garam did not simply visit the hospital, Heungnam began to pressure Garam in earnest. To make matters worse, Garam's symptoms worsened, and Garam was injured in a prank by the rugby team members. "Do you know what it feels like to be a player abandoned by injuries? I want to die. Because it's hell to live," he said, bursting into exasperation. Garam was angry at his situation where he couldn't escape from his injury, but he was heartbroken by the rugby team's sincere asking for forgiveness. Garam also gave Izzy earplugs as a gift and cheered, saying, "Don't mind what others say."
However, at the end of the play, Garam lost his mind in front of Izzy and collapsed, and was shocked by the ending. Izzy is "Severe work history, is that why it disappeared 3 years ago? "It's the truth of Ju-ram, the drug dealer," he said, looking fondly at Garam and making him eat. In the following epilogue, Garam tried to tell Izzy about his condition three years ago, but he couldn't speak in front of Izzy, who was excited ahead of the national team selection match, which made viewers feel sad.
The viewer rating of 'Tri', which aired on this day, rose again with a highest viewer rating of 8.3%, a 6.4% in the metropolitan area, and a 5.7% national rating. In particular, it achieved a box office miracle that broke its own highest ratings for the previous episode, proving its hot topic and popularity with an unstoppable rise. (Nilson Korea)
